Mission

Proton OnSite seeks to fuel the next generation of scientific innovation by recognizing and rewarding high school seniors who demonstrate outstanding achievement, excellence and promise in the fields of science and technology, and who plan to pursue further education in these fields.

Each year, Proton OnSite selects from a field of applicants to determine who will be awarded undergraduate scholarships. The Proton OnSite Scholarship program is only available to U.S. citizens.

The Proton OnSite Scholarship program is supported and funded by Tom Sullivan, founder of Lumber Liquidators and owner of Proton OnSite.

The Scholarship program’s mission is to enable outstanding, promising and financially needy high school seniors to pursue higher education in the fields of science and technology.


General Guidelines

Proton OnSite will award undergraduate scholarships of up to $100,000 total for up to four years.
